Abstract
The formation of kettle peatlands is a typical vertical peatland terrestrialization. There are few studies on the plant composition and dynamics of kettle peatlands, especially the long-term observation in freshwater lake wetlands. In this study, we observed the plant community composition of typical kettle peatlands in Xingkai Lake, Heilongjiang Province and followed strict rules to carry out field investigation, recording and laboratory analysis. This dataset contains the plant community composition, dominant plants, above-ground and belowground biomass, and plant density in the kettle peatlands from 2012 to 2018. Users can search the data by the survey year and plant community composition. On the one hand, the preparing and sharing of the long-term dataset about plant community in kettle peatlands could enrich the peatland plant community dataset. On the other, the data can be used as a support for students and researchers working in physical geography and ecology, and as a reference for ecological restoration and sustainable management of wetlands.
